I currently have a Service Account (AD user) configured with logon rights to an IIS Server. I want to give that service account rights to stop/start their approrpriate site so they can take the site down for a deploy. It was previously an Admin on the old server and to take the site down, they were killing the W3SVC service.
My thought involved them having a script that would utilize AppCmd.exe to stop/start the site; I'm not able to find find what minimum permissions are required to do so.
If I am unable to find this, I'll be asking them if using App_Offline.html will be appropriate for them, since that effective takes the site offline, I recall there was some requirement that did not allow this to work.
Thanks for any suggestions.
